[Cardinal77]

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

— Hannibal Lechter, Silence of the Lambs

Trivia question, what is the medical significance of his meal?

BC

In some ancient cultures the liver was considered the seat of life and even the seat of the soul, though in Greek Aristotelian science and metaphysics, the heart was considered the seat of the soul.

Nice try, but there is something very specific about those foods in a psychiatric patient.  Perhaps one of the other physicians on this board will get it?
